Usage

:one: Annotate a class

Annotate a class with [FluentBuilder.AutoGenerateBuilder] to indicate that a FluentBuilder should be generated for this class:

[FluentBuilder.AutoGenerateBuilder]
public class User
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    public string LastName { get; set; }

    public DateTime? Date { get; set; }
}

:two: Define a class which needs to act as a builder

This scenario is very usefull when you cannot modify the class to annotate it.

Create a public and partial builder class

And annotate this class with [FluentBuilder.AutoGenerateBuilder(typeof(XXX))] where XXX is the type for which you want to generate a FluentBuilder.

[FluentBuilder.AutoGenerateBuilder(typeof(UserDto))]
public partial class MyUserDtoBuilder
{
}

Use FluentBuilder

using System;

namespace Test
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var user = new FluentBuilder.UserBuilder()
                .WithFirstName("Test")
                .WithLastName("User")
                .Build();

            Console.WriteLine($"{user.FirstName} {user.LastName}");
        }
    }
}
